Actor Randy Quaid is set to appear at an immigration hearing Monday morning on the admissibility of his now-famous refugee claim, which asserts he is the target of "Hollywood star whackers."

The National Lampoon star and his wife, Evi, claim murderous forces are at work in the U.S. and are responsible for the deaths of fellow actors Heath Ledger, Chris Penn and David Carradine.

Quaid says he fears for his life and has applied for asylum in Canada.

In an interview last week with Good Morning America, the couple insisted neither were taking illegal drugs or mentally unstable – but that they were "seeking to be left alone by the criminals in America."

"They tag our cell phone, hack our computer. Now with the internet, celebrity is fair game, and it's all designed to sell advertising space," Randy said.

"They're businessmen. It's the mafia and organized crime," Evi added.

The Quaids were arrested last month in Vancouver on U.S. warrants after skipping an arraignment hearing in California for a felony burglary charge.

In that case, the pair is accused of squatting in a Montecito home they once owned together in the 1990s, and causing thousands of dollars in damage. The Quaids forfeited $50,000 bail when they missed a court date in the case. They are scheduled to appear again in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Nov. 16.

They were released from a Canadian detention facility on Oct. 27 on $10,000 bail. Evi was later given an unconditional release after officials determined she is a Canadian citizen.

Quaid is known for his roles in films such as The Last Detail, Independence Day, Kingpin and Brokeback Mountain. He won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of President Lyndon Johnson in LBJ: The Early Years.

He is the older brother of actor Dennis Quaid. Randy said Thursday that his younger brother is implicated in the plots against him.

I saw his press conference.  Completely loony tunes, it's unbelievable.

I feel worried for him.  He seems legitimately scared.
